This car was completely dissasembled when I got it. Most parts were in small boxes
and labeled. Engine was out and apart. The past owner spent thousands on new, NOS
and repro and rechroming on this car. As of today (Aug 30th) this car is ready to be
tagged up and driven.

Notes:
Car appears to be a 53,000 mile original car. It has original heater hoses, water pump
by-pass hose, etc. Was shown in Ohio in late 80s early 90's and came with dash plaques
etc. Exterior is aqua and white, repainted sometime in early 80's, interior is a strange
combination of white tan and almost a mustard color, but appears to be original.
